Obviously, the US is not the 3rd worst country in the world for extrajudicial killings. What the author chooses to omit is that the report only includes data for 20 countries in this measurement.

Beyond that, the data used by the study is literally just a poll of non-academic human rights advocates.

Personally, I'm angry as hell about a lot of things the US does civil rights wise, but the methodology and the article here are both garbage and I would be embarrassed to use either as support of an argument.
